Ways to Self-empowerment

Self-awareness and self-confidence are two important aspects of self empowerment. To be fully aware of your own strengths and weaknesses in parallel to your life goals is a jumpstart towards calculated self-confidence. Truthful assessment of your potentials and sensible determination of how you can improve on your limitations are crucial in taking right courses of actions towards becoming a better you. Constant hard work in achieving the best you possible is the third and most important aspect of empowering yourself.

Deeply knowing yourself, taking charge of life, and maximizing your knowledge and skills as you constantly improve on your weaknesses and limitations towards realizing your life goals is the essence of self empowerment. The following are practical ways to empowering yourself:

1) Take charge of your own life. No one else has the say over your life but you. You may listen to wisdom of years and youth but only you still have the final say. You may spend your years serving others but it is by your own choice still. You direct your own life, the rudder is yours, and you course your own sail in life.

2) Be aware of who you are. Recognize your true self- your strengths and weaknesses, potentials and limitations as well as the opportunities and pitfalls ahead of you. Only then can you determine how far you can go at self-transformation and how high you can possibly achieve in terms of your goals in life.

3) Let go of the past. Each day offers a new beginning, a chance to rise-up and move forward. Do not tie yourself to the past, don’t hold back. Forgive yourself for whatever wrong you have done and resolve to become the better you every day in your life.

4) Develop a new mind-set. Cultivate a mind-set that will keep you transforming into a better you. Set-side doubts and negative thoughts and choose to positively going for change towards the better you, your- attitude and behaviour, habits and practices, performance and achievement. Keep aiming and working hard until you realize the best you and all your life goals.

5) Never worry. Worrying only wears you down. Never waste time pondering doubts and fears. Carefully choose your options and carry out your course of actions with positive disposition that while things may not at all happen according to plan your hard work will get you to your goals still in time.

6) Trust others and yourself. Trust on yourself and on others is the anchor of your optimism. Once you have carefully assessed and weighed your options, trust your judgement in choosing your options, and believe that your chosen course of actions coupled with constant hard work will yield what you are aiming for.

7) Rest if you must. Take time out from your daily routine and allow yourself to rest and relax. Take few minutes each day to enjoy silence. Meditation is an excellent way to free your body of stress.

8) Be responsible. Being in control of your life consequently means being responsible for whatever happens in it. No blame throwing for things that do not happen as planned. Take full responsibility for your choices and be at peace with the consequences of your actions.

9) Share your greatness. Share your self to others- your beliefs and principles. Make others see and witness the good things you are doing in your life. Declare your successes as well as your hard tries regardless of its failings.

10) Be truthful. Honesty to self and to others is liberating. It sets you free of doubts and worries. Deceit breeds guilt, guilt breeds shame, and shame breeds feelings of worthlessness. Embrace everything that you are, after all, you painstakingly honed your being towards self empowerment.
